We work out the most economical route to send your items to Singapore’s port directly from a port nearby your side in Japan.

  • Step 1

    M&P will send (if necessary) you some packing materials, boxes, international custom forms to be filled up and returned and shipping labels to ship the items to the nearby warehouse.

    After packing your belongings, a hired truck picks up the boxes and brings it to a warehouse for consolidation.

  • Step 3

  • Step 4

    A few days prior to reaching the port, the ship’s captain will submit a report to the USA government on the type of vessel, crew and cargo it is carrying.

  • Step 5

    After receiving clearance to enter Singapore’s port, the container will be unloaded via large cranes.

  • Step 6

    At this point, custom officials will inspect selected containers to ensure the contents adhere to the information on the submitted documents.

  • Step 7

    Once clearance has been given, the container will be loaded onto a truck and trucked to an import distribution centre. The container will then be opened and the cargo will be separated and transported to their respective locations around the island.

  • Step 8

    Afterwards, you will receive your items to your door step via a local trucking service.
